A video has emerged showing a routine traffic stop in Montgomery County almost turn deadly as a distracted driver smashes into the stopped car, narrowly missing a deputy constable and the car's driver.

Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constable's Office released the footage from the patrol car's dash cam Sunday, according to the Montgomery County Police Reporter. It shows a teenage driver pulled over for speeding in his black Mustang on FM 3083 near Four Corners on June 20.

As the constable is running background checks on his license, the teen is seen tending to his car, wiping off smudges and dust, before sitting to wait.

The dash cam then shows the teen jumping out of the way as a white pick up swerves off the road and smashes into the side of his prized car.

The driver raises his hands to the sky as the pickup is seen stopping in the distance.
